Jacoby Brisset and backup Scott Tolzien will lead the Colts at QB the rest of the 2017 NFL regular season after Andrew Luck was placed on season ending injured reserve because of his slow-healing shoulder injury following surgery, dating back to December 2016.

Indianapolis will try to both defeat Pittsburgh for the first time since the Colts started playing their games at Lucas Oil Stadium in 2009. Colts last home win over the Steelers was 12 years ago, when Indianapolis defeated Pittsburgh 26-7 at the RCA Dome, back on November 28, 2005. Colts also has won only one of the seven previous meetings beginning with the 2005 AFC Wild Card Playoff Game in January 2006, and are on current five-game losing streak with the Steelers entering today.

Peyton Manning threw the game winning, 17-yard touchdown pass to Dominic Rhodes for the Colts with 3:04 remaining in the fourth quarter, along with an Adam Vinitieri PAT, to defeat the Steelers 24-20, for the Colts last regular season victory, and played at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, back on November 9, 2008.

Colts are technically, and still mathematically, alive for a Wild Card Playoff berth despite their 3-6 record, one record better than the 0-9 Cleveland Browns, but after 10 weeks are 2 1.2 games behind the Wild Card. Andrew Luck's absence from as an active player and on the playing field, and injuries within the team are major reasons the Colts have their current record as the start Week 10 game action, of the NFL's enduring 16-game regular season.

Indianapolis also have a daunting task to defeat Pittsburgh today as the Colts have only won 6 of the previous 23 games since the rivalry began 67 years ago, when the Steelers defeated the Baltimore Colts 17-7, in both teams first regular season meeting, played at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, back on November 12, 1950.

Colts were also 0-5 to the Steelers in AFC Playoff games, in 1975 and 1976 during the Bert Jones era, 1996, and 2006.

Sorry to tell you this, my friend, but in case you haven't traveled a lot, this is the case all around the country. Steelers fans have outnumbered any other team for YEARS! They truly deserve the title of "America's Team".

I m not too sure about Irsay trying to justify anything to the fanbase. The larger part of the fanbase wanted Pagano fired at the same time Grigson was fired. What Irsay did say he just didn't wan't to fire a head coach who had the record Pagano had at that time. There will be some time down the road that Irsay will say something about it.
